Free Zones World Economic Barometer

The Free Zones World Economic Barometer (F-WEB) is a sentiment indicator based on a quarterly survey among Special Economic Zone representatives conducted by the Kiel Institute for the Economy in collaboration with the World Free Zones Organization. Established in early 2018, it is designed to gauge the current momentum of economic activity in SEZs around the globe and give indication about future trends.
